Palencia

This master-planned community inspired by Historic Downtown offers community living and a wealth of amenities. Palencia boasts three swimming pools, athletic fields, tennis courts, a fitness center, pocket parks, and a 30-acre park system interconnected by boardwalks and fitness trails.

The Palencia Club, Northeast Florida's prestigious championship designed golf course and private club, is Palencia's crown jewel. Located in the heart of Palencia's Village Center, the Palencia Club offers social, dining, and golf experiences. The Arthur Hill-designed golf course is more than 7,000 yards that wind through centuries-old oak trees along the Intracoastal Waterway. The practice areas include a 400-yard double-sided range along with 10,000 square feet of area dedicated to putting and chipping.
